Elliott Robinson has left his partner position at software provider Microsoft’s corporate venturing subsidiary, M12 Ventures, for venture capital firm Bessemer Venture Partners where he will be a growth equity investor.
Robinson joined M12 in November 2016, having come from Canada-based growth equity firm Georgian Partners where he was vice-president.
During his time at M12, Robinson focused on early to growth-stage investments in artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, big data analytics, cloud infrastructure and enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) technology developers.
Robinson led the unit’s investments in enterprise cloud computing technology developer Rescale, healthcare assistance software producer Livongo, business finance provider BlueVine and identity authentication platform developer Trusona. He was among Global Corporate Venturing’s Rising Stars this year.
At Bessemer, Robinson will concentrate his efforts on growth investments and look to partner entrepreneurs building SaaS and cloud software companies.
